Synapie

Tell it once and the event, the reminder and the shopping list make themselves — shared with your whole family, and encrypted end to end.

Synapie is the automatic family organizer. The calendar, the to-dos, the shopping list and the plans in between live in one app, with an assistant you just tell. Say "swim moves to Thursdays at four" once, and the event, the reminder and the kit list make themselves, shared with whoever needs them.

SAY IT ONCE Tell it the way you'd tell a person. "Called the vet back — Juno's booster is Thursday at 4, and we're out of the salmon food." Dates, promises, names and preferences get picked out of what you said and become events, to-dos, list items and notes. You don't file anything.

IT ACTS, NOT JUST ANSWERS Paste a recipe link: it saves the recipe as a note, then puts the ingredients on your grocery list and skips the ones you said you already have. Ask what Thursday looks like and it reads your calendar. Every change it makes is listed, and every one can be undone.

ONE HOUSEHOLD, ALWAYS IN STEP Share a whole workspace with your family: the calendar, the lists, the to-dos and the timers. Check something off on your phone and it's checked on theirs before you look up. Add or remove people whenever you like. There's no "sync now" button in Synapie, because there doesn't need to be one.

ASK THE WAY YOU'D ASK A FRIEND Search doesn't need the right keyword, the title or the date. "What did Dana say about the coast road?" comes back with the thing you meant, across notes, chats and something you mentioned once. It runs on your device.

ENCRYPTED BEFORE IT LEAVES YOUR HANDS Your content is end-to-end encrypted on this device before it syncs. The relay only ever holds a sealed envelope, and no one at Synapie holds the key. Ask it to forget something and it's gone from every device you own — not archived, not hidden away somewhere. Gone.

WORKSPACES Keep home, work and the journal nobody reads properly apart, each with its own data and its own settings. A workspace can be encrypted at rest and unlocked with Face ID.

ALSO IN THE BOX • A Today wall you arrange yourself — drag, resize and recolour the cards • Timers and alarms that ring through the silent switch, on the Lock Screen too • Your Google Calendar and the calendars already on your iPhone, in one view • Notes with a real markdown editor: checklists, tables, and diagrams that render as you type • Undo for notes, to-dos and lists • Eight skins; the whole app changes, not just the accent colour

Synapie is free to use, with an optional subscription for heavier use.
